One Injured In Highway 35 Accident

One person was taken to a hospital Tuesday afternoon after a five vehicle accident on Highway 35 near the intersections of Booth Hill Road and Central Vale Drive in Hood River County. The Oregon State Police says at the time of the crash there was a pickup truck stopped in the southbound left hand lane waiting to turn left onto Booth Hill Road, waiting for a northbound semi-truck and tanker and other oncoming traffic to pass before turning.  There was also a vehicle in the right-hand lane turning right onto Central Vale Drive.  A white pickup and a grey pickup were able to stop in the left-hand lane behind the waiting vehicle, but a maroon truck pulling a flatbed trailer with a car on top was not able to stop, and swerved left into the northbound lanes.  It clipped the back of one truck, and eventually hit the semi-truck and tanker head-on in the northbound lanes.  Another vehicle then hit the maroon truck’s trailer.  The driver of the maroon truck was transported to Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital and was treated for minor injuries, while the OSP says all of the other drivers were not injured.  Traffic was re-routed onto Central Vale Drive until the highway could be cleared.
